influenced by...

Hey, I wanted to take the time to post here about my band, TheNew Bedfords. We are really influenced by okgo, from the st all through colour and I was hoping you can take a listen to our stuff. Just wanted to post here since it looked like none of the other forums really got that much activity.

We are a band from northern NJ looking to reignite rock and alter thebanal cookie cutter music scene. We take sounds from rock, pop, and dancebands like the talking heads, ok go, the hives, them crooked vultures, andthrow them all in a blender to create a lively raw sound that gets your feetmoving and heat pumping. We made it to the top 100 semi finals of theconverse get out of the garage contest, and participated in New York’s CMJfestival for 2010, as rocked crowds all over PA, NY, and NJ from NJ's StarlandBallroom to Crock Rock in PA, and various clubs in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Just watched your sampler post at the ewe-toobs...nice stuff. You still need to find that particular hook that's gonna make you stand out, but it sounds like from a technical standpoint you all know what you're doing. How long have you been together?

There was something in Shark that seemed to be channeling Pixies' Surfer Rosa...utter coolness.

Find yourself a producer with a vision five years beyond where you're at now, spend some quality time in the studio, keep working the pavement, and you've got potential, mate.

thanks a lot guys, any response is great but so far a good response is even better haha

DWD - we have been together for just about a year now, give or take a month of busy schedules and downtime and been playing shows steadily for the past 8 months, building a rep and getting to know some names.

hopefully the second ep will be recorded in the coming months, we plan on getting some good quality demo versions out in the next month or two. as for liking sharks to something on surfa rosa, thats just fantastic and good news because thats one of the next songs to be completed. woo!
